I have converted the .svgs of the icons windows can use into .pngs and then made those into windows cursor files. I also created an alternate select icon

Thank you @Silicasandwhich.🎉 I will update contribution list soon. Can you share tool/script that you used for generate .cur&.ani files

Sorry this is like five months late, but here's the method I used to make the windows cursor files

  1. I used inkscape to convert the svgs to pngs. I did this part in Linux so I could write an automation script and make this part less time consuming. I'll see if I can find the script I made, but if I can't, it more or less just converted all the svgs in a folder to pngs in a different folder.

  2. I used a tool called realworld cursor editor to convert those pngs into cursor files. I did this part in Windows so I could quickly test the cursors and because I'm pretty sure realworld is only available on Windows.

It's pretty simple, but it can be time-consuming. It can probably be automated and optimized further, but this was my method.
